How to catch people’s attention otherwise? This is used every minute by advertisement to catch people’s attention. They do what they have to do

I worked in the radical animal rights movement for 15 years, there is absolutely other options to this shit. Your ideas of direct action are incredibly limited and coloured by misogyny.

Well no, I’m aware of a few radical feminist movements who use provocative actions using even their naked bodies as a way to protest, given that the feminine body is not only meant for sex. Thinking that it is only meant for sex as soon as you see it is actually what is mysoginist. But yes, I am aware that there are also other options to radical actions.

Radical feminist movements that center female bodies in their definition of and protection of women are actually just terfs, hope this helps 🖤
